"Kreesus". This is how I have always heard it pronounced in the well-known
phrase "rich as Croesus" (or however it's spelled), that phrase being about
the only time that the name is ever cited in common communication among us
English-speaking types. It far predates Don's story - it predates Don and
anyone else on this mailing list, for that matter.
